Bishop Antoine-Charbel Tarabay welcomes St Carlo Acutis relics

Bishop Antoine-Charbel Tarabay welcomed a major relic of St Carlo Acutis to Our Lady of Lebanon Co-Cathedral in Harris Park on 25 September. Hundreds of people joined a solemn procession to carry the relic into the cathedral as part of the Saint Carlo Acutis Major Relic Mission 2026.

Bishop Tarabay celebrated the mass alongside parish priest Father Danny Nouh. During his homily, the bishop spoke about the spiritual legacy of St Carlo Acutis and the difficulties of following Christ in a digital world. He noted that while the internet can act as a mirror, Acutis used technology as a window toward Jesus Christ.

Kate Hobbes, president of the Friends of Carlo Acutis Australia, spoke to the congregation after the mass. She shared reflections on the mission to bring the relic to Australia.
